Mas Comtal Negre is made from 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. Light ageing in wood for around 3 months in French oak barrels followed by a long rest and rounding off in the bottle. This perfect combination produces an expressive balance between the varietal notes and those of reduction. The must macerates with their skins during fermentation at a temperature of 28ºC. A maceration of 15 days allows for extraction of a good dose of tannic structure and antociants.

The Mas Comtal estate is located in the municipality of Avinyonet del Penedès, Alt Penedès; between the Massif of Ordal and the mountains of Mediona, Puigfred and Ancosa and the Garraf Park on the Mediterranean coast. The sea acts as a climatic regulator, and the beautiful mountain of Montserrat... protects Penedès from the brunt of the cold winds that descend from the Pyrenees to the north. This combination of geographical elements generates the optimum environment for wine production. Mas Comtal is an estate of 40 hectares made up of a total of 27 vineyards, situated at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level. White varieties are Xarel.lo and Chardonnay.
